Our Heroes (AKA "The Twin Flames") delve deeper beneath Otari in order to discover the true nature of the menace that plagues it! Hellbiscuit swings for the seats, Krudbert's faith is rewarded and Cinnamon embraces a new role as the 2-Crew's Pathfinder Perusal continues!

So funny listening to older episodes and hearing what will eventually be Boggy Roger’s voice coming from a porn addicted Kobold
honestly on my hands and knees begging for more of the twin flames
“why’re you going after young pups when there’s a big dog here” is an iconic Cinnamon comeback
“I’ve always wanted a bunk bed in a bone room!” And if I said I loved Krudbert, what of it???
Cinnamon is so iconic I need more of him
I was so impressed with how quick on the draw Krudbert was with his scathing insults. He's a legend
Ive listened to every episode of Skaldova, Trinyvale, and Bahumia- Cinnamon is Emily's best character by far!
Emily was absolutely the star of this two shot, I would give anything for them to play pathfinder again
Cinnamon putting on the disguise hat and then talking to himself as his father absolutely took me out.
This was perfect
was so cinnamon-matic when they finally could pay for the ad-free music cantrip and they all sang green day
I’m listening to this again and this two shot has me rolling around laughing every time 😂😂😂
lol I love every time Caldwell refers to himself as Gunkle. In my life, gunkle just means your gay uncle 😂😂
I have Gunkles lmao, theyre both named Eric
I faced a similar fight in a different Pathfinder campaign, which basically ended in a TPK but only one player died due to some great maneuvering on the part of our DM. I think it really showcases the necessity of saving throws, as the only spellcaster I was pretty much the only one scoring any damage due to being able to target an animal's relatively minimal WIS saves. Pathfinder doesn't mess around with giant snakes and dragons; they really said animal rights.
I've listened to this mini-campaign twice and I have cracked up CONSTANTLY both times. It is beyond hilarious. Every listen, I hear a new line I missed before that is pure comedy gold.
Just something for the future as it caught me out. When your running with 3 players sometimes you need to apply the weak template for some boss monsters. Usually just lowers a few numbers to stop those crits being so devastating as they usually get balanced for 4 players. You can find it on archives of nethys. Loved the episodes. They were a great birthday treat and I hope you all like pathfinder enough to make more content with it.
He was actually reading Moby’s Dick in the porn hole.
Great two shot! I enjoy when you guys try out different things Have you guys considered doing a Monster of the Week game as a mixed bag? It's low prep, high improv theater of the mind which would be perfect for you guys as a goofy break from DND The big thing with MOTW is that world building is a group activity in this game which Emily already does with Murph DMing anyway lol
I loved this Pathfinder two-shot! I've been playing in a Pathfinder game for about a year, we started with the beginner box and continued with the Abomination Vaults adventure path, and it's been a blast. I'm looking forward to hopefully hearing some more Pathfinder content from y'all in the future!
I NEED more of this campaign please. I am showing it to all my friends and family AS WE SPEAK
I was truly hoping we’d finally get a TPK on Naddpod. Always a happy ending is nice but just once I thought we had it when Cinnamon charged at that Dragon.. Oh well, still awesome as always.
I vote all future pathfinder episodes should end with basket case replacing youth of the nation
I could listen to an entire podcast of Cinnamon just talking to himself as he goes through the day.
A rose for @29:00, when hellbiscuit flanks with Crudeburt and learns the power of friendship
full krudbert hellbiscuit brotherhood
Cinnamon using the disguise self hat to turn into his dad and tell him that he loves him was unreal holy hell
The outro song to Basketcase is *chef's kiss*
“You’re too far away for foreheads!” Great Cinnamon line
Ideal party: Murph as Crudbert, Jake as Mavid, Caldwell as Crissy, and Emily as Moonshine trying to hold them all together.
Something about Caldwell DMing makes Murph, Emily, and Jake create aggressively competitive characters claiming to be related and I love it.
Omg you're right, why????
Life really does imitate art because in my REAL LIFE for FIVE YEARS I was a mascot for a minor league baseball team in Dayton Ohio, called the DRAGONS. But unfortunately my name was not cinnamon jr, it was Heater. I have changed my Patreon picture to show what it looked like. I was listening to this while drinking and did a real life spit take.
PS, I had to be the boy dragon because I was too tall to be the girl dragon
I’d pay for a patreon tier of just cinnamon listing off more spice related crimes
Murph always makes the most polarizing characters, no offense to cinnamon and that lowly Jeff guy
I think we discovered Murph is not capable of playing NICE and little dude at the same time. Lol he likes to razz too much!
Also a Tic Tok the sorcerer moment
This two shot was a fun listen! I'd be game for more Pathfinder in the future. Listening to you learn it will help me do the same. Also, the cult/baseball team reminded me of another podcast: https://omny.fm/shows/the-dollop-with-dave-anthony-and-gareth-reynolds/525-the-house-of-david You can find the sources for the episode here if you want to read more: https://the-dollop-sources.squarespace.com/new-page-1
I love that Cinnamon had his own “Leroy Jenkins” moment!! 😂😂😂
insane shuffle pull at the end. phenomenal. this was so fucking funny
perfect thicc sode!!!
Murph not breaking voice/character while reminding that they knew about the trap felt like an Into the Woods moment
I desperately need a "hey I'm flankin' here" shirt
Lol Murph is letting the Jersey show with “Down the shore” and novelty t-shirt talk.
Awesome job with this 2 shot, I hope this means we’ll be in for more pathfinder in the future!!!
I enjoy Pathfinder. These eps made me realize that I really do not enjoy listening to Pathfinder combat. Props to the 2 Crew for managing to make it funny and Duncle Caldwell for always being down to clown. I love that they're having fun and trying something new.
Exactly how it feels! It’s great for a 2 shot run by Caldwell but in a high stakes battle or long running story I worry it would drag pretty hard. Regardless, I’d be down to hear them play other TTRPGs so hopefully this opens the door for more!
This was so good, I love these characters and their dynamic. I hope you guys do more pathfinder in the future.
Great episode!!! Very fun listening to you guys claw your way through the fight that TPKed my Beginner Box party (with only 1 hp left!)
Loved hearing the crew play Pathfinder! I really hope to hear more from these amazing characters
I like how you changed the basic Beginner Box. It's much more interesting this way, great job, Caldwell!
I need the Dragon and Cinnamon final dual to be a cinematic. Absolutely hilarious and epic.
Awesome as usual! It would be cool if they did an anime style side game.
God I hope we get more of the Twin Flames
after harmony is one dating system, eharmony is the other
Nice job on the pronunciation, Jake! You nailed it! Sometimes people struggle with Finnish pronouciation, but you got it in one.
“he who controls the spice controls the universe” — Cinnamon
1st rank heal heals 1d8 with 1action or as a 30' foot emanation as a 3 action. If you use 2actions the healing increases by 8. The +8 healing does not apply to the 3action version
I love the reaction to the dragon fight, Emily's completely flat "I feel like you're different than us". It's kind of a ridiculously overtuned fight for the beginner box honestly but it really cements that dragons are insanely badass in pathfinder. My reaction to fighting a dragon in 5e was always "awesome let's kick this things ass". Anytime a dragon pops up in pathfinder is an absolute "oh shit" moment
Such a fantastic two shot!! Cant wait to see what else is in store 🥳🥳🥳
one of my favorite things about the 2-crew is their love for the found family trope. another one of my favorite things about the 2-crew is whenever duncle dms that troupe gets cranked up to 500
I simply must know whose autocorrect changed Szechuan to Saskatchewan 😂
Sometimes a family is 3 people who just met a couple hours ago, and I think that's just beautiful
Cinnamon is truly the greatest wizard in the universe
Strangely, he was definitely giving Ron Stampler energy
Petition that whenever you guys do a non-dnd system, replace the “Another” in NADDPOD with “A”
Cinnamon is the winna mon.
No fucking way basket case dropped. Insane. Beautiful
The sound design this ep is *chef's kiss*
This two-shot was so fun! I hope we see these goofball characters again
Anytime there’s a drawing/illustration reference included with an episode my heart grows 3 sizes that day (thanks gruncle)
Emily is killing me with the voice, and crushing the dad jokes
Absolutely loved this! I hope this continues after the 2 shot
Healing in Pathfinder is freaking crazy
I played in a 5e game where I tried to break my character for healing because everyone always tries to break it for damage or some niche thing.. and man I never even got close to what I heard in this lol
Is it still only a two shot? It will be a first.
I hope I’m not the only one who had an absolutely visceral reaction to the title “Guncle”
We need more than a two shot
Just two idiots, their dad, and his weird shrew on a quest to better their community and afford ad free music ❤️
I swear Duncle can't run a game without all the party members yielding to one member. Not complaining cuz it's always funny and it makes sense seeing how sigma Jenns and Cinnamon are.
Well heck, now I want to get the new pathfinder book and read into it.
I love when the gang finds their trio groove so quickly😂 Love the Twin Flame Family, let's hope the bloody brothers and their spicy dad have many more adventures ❤️
Cinnamon being slightly older and becoming the de factor leader (that his companions are desperate to please) has a distinct middle school friendship energy that I'm obsessed with
I love how much fun all of them are having in this. Pathfinder 10 shot please ❤️
I adore Cinnamon
damn, Krudbert is fully yandere
Good catch from Emily on widen spell costing an action!
Yippee more pathfinder
It’s gonna be a spicy episode
Wooooaaaahhhhh just in time for me to fall asleep to this.
I am about to start my road trip to meet my niece. What perfect timing!
Was just about to start painting some minis, perfect timing!
